Soft, Layered Cushions and Throws to Refresh Any Room

Few pieces transform a room as quickly as cushions and throws. A scatter of textured cushions and a softly draped throw bring warmth, colour and comfort to a sofa, armchair or bed in a single afternoon.

Our cushions and throws span linen, velvet, cotton and cosy knits, giving Australian homes an easy way to refresh a space with the seasons, all with a luxury feel without the heavy price tag. Layer them across your sofas to add depth, or keep a considered palette for a calm, cohesive feel.

Choosing the Right Cushions and Throws for Your Space

Getting the sizing right makes all the difference, so reach for square cushions of 45cm and 50cm as the most versatile for sofas, 55 to 60cm to anchor a deep lounge, and a lumbar around 30 by 50cm for extra support, always choosing an insert one size larger than the cover for a full, plump look. Mix smooth and tactile fabrics such as linen with velvet, anchoring the scheme with one or two neutrals before adding an accent colour. For throws, pick a weight and fabric that matches how you will use it.

• Lightweight cotton and linen for warmer months
• Chunky knits for cosy texture
• Wool blends for softness that holds heat
• Faux fur for a plush, luxurious layer

Styles to Suit Your Space

Coastal schemes lean into linen and soft neutrals, velvet in jewel tones lends a richer feel, and knitted throws suit a warm winter room, with odd numbers of cushions looking more natural than matched pairs. Layer them over armchairs, add warmth underfoot with rugs, and explore the full living room furniture range to tie it together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cushions should I put on a sofa?

For a three seater, three to five cushions usually looks balanced. Odd numbers feel more natural, so try a mix of sizes rather than a matching set.

What size cushion insert should I buy?

Choose an insert one size larger than the cover, so a 45cm cover suits a 50cm insert, giving a full, plump look.

Can I machine wash cushion covers and throws?

Many are machine washable on a gentle cycle, but always check the care label first. Remove covers before washing and dry away from direct heat.
